<![CDATA[Corruption is an extraordinary crime that systematically damages the foundations of national life in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of criminal sanctions in efforts to overcome corruption in Indonesia, as well as to identify factors that influence the effectiveness of criminal punishment for corruptors. The research method used is normative juridical with a statute approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach. Data were obtained from primary legal materials in the form of laws and court decisions, as well as secondary legal materials in the form of literature, journals, and reports from related institutions. The results of the study indicate that the application of criminal sanctions against perpetrators of corruption in Indonesia is not fully effective, as reflected in the still high rate of corruption and the low deterrent effect produced. Factors that influence this ineffectiveness include inconsistency in sentencing by judges, disparities between the threat of punishment and the decisions handed down, and the weak implementation of additional punishment in the form of confiscation of assets. Reforming criminal justice policies that are oriented towards restorative justice and strengthening the mechanism for confiscating assets resulting from corruption are the main recommendations in this study]]>
